Dawntrail Graphics Update - Eye Strain

[DeathNoodles]

I normally don't need my glasses but I did for this, def was a lot but also lol... I was glued to my pc for hours on end

I wish we could change which title screen you get on boot permanently for all kinds of reasons.

I too wish you could switch between what title screen you want to see. The feature is already there when you watch a cinematic for an expansion, the title screen will change. It just doesn't persist upon logging out. I would switch to Shadowbringers personally.

I would actually like the 1.0 title screen back. I also wish they'd have added that version of Prelude to the game as an orchestrion scroll by now, too. In particular I liked the more etheric quality it had by swapping out the core melody horns with a choir effect.

Late night bump. Please square.

That too. It really put a damper on the whole graphics update for me.
It's more like a downgrade now...

I mean, not to be rude but it’s an improvement after all.
If your machine can’t keep the pace it’s not the game/SE’s fault.

Anyway, since I have also a potato build (Ryzen 3700x + 3060RTX), what helped me to get the 60 solid at 2k was just enabling the LOD system for all feature which can be LOD’ed, the rest set to maximum.
Still you get the 40/50 when entering Tuliyollal in certain areas but for the 90% of the game is a solid 60 fps (locked at 60).

Taking away options and forcing glare/bloom is not an improvement, lol.

Guessing you haven't read a majority of the posts in this thread lol.

Most of the people here aren't having an issue with performance. The issue stands with the fact that SE has removed graphics options that have been in the game for ~10 years. This in turn has made the game look subjectively worse for some of us. On top of the fact that their implementation of upscaling tech has been a lazy one at best.

As someone else recently mentioned, this feels more like a downgrade overall than an upgrade, but to each their own.
